Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the enforcement notice was issued outside the statutory time limits for taking enforcement action under section 171B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
Whether planning permission should be granted for the matters stated in the enforcement notice

What decided it

The appellant cannot use a ground (a) appeal to seek permission for a different form of development (agricultural use) than that specified in the enforcement notice (mixed storage and machinery repair use), and the operational works were incidental to the material change of use within the ten-year enforcement period.

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
